Visual schedule – Create a Schedule and print it out if you want. We don’t print as we use iphone version we can carry around. We created several daily schedules such as ‘Morning routine’, ‘Evening Walk’ etc..

Choice Boards – Ths can be used to create category pages. I like asking my kid what color is the car and what type of car. We have these created a choice boards so he can answer them without carrying his SGD around.

Wish List

With 10000 symbols it is huge and even with search it is difficult. it is nice to have them filter by category on search page.

IEP Goals/Skills: Visual Supports

Overall Impression

With over 10,000 icons, you have the most comprehensive list of icons for every scenario you can think of. The user interface is easy to use. If the icon is not present, (for example, I needed an ethnic food icon that SymbolStix didn’t had) and I was able to search google and add it to the schedule.

The other major feature I like is Speech Generation. I hate recording for each picture. I just want to type and let the system read it. This app will do that with a text to voice software used for developing this product.

Overall Great product
